Tabs
Here I share a collection of my fingerstyle Celtic chord-melody and song arrangements, as well as some originals heard in my guitar demos and on my YouTube channel.
Select transcriptions/TABs are available as PDF downloads or via Flat.io.
Over the course of December 2024, I am moving my back catalog of tabs over to my Patreon shop where you can purchase individual tabs or get greater access as a monthly supporter. Join me over there to get my latest tabs, too!
If you’ve gotten some use out of the free tabs and want to support my work, tips via PayPal are hugely appreciated!
